Based solely on a substance’s high melting point, a student concludes that the substance must be ionic. Which of the following statements identifies a potential flaw in this reasoning?
A
The student made no mistake; high melting points indicate ionic bonding.
B
Only ionic substances have high melting points; other types of bonds result in low melting points.
C
Substances with high melting points can also be network covalent solids, not just ionic.
D
High melting points are exclusive to metallic bonds, not ionic or covalent.
